Bubble algae

[george albert]

ok,

Im sick of pulling this out and the emerald crabs are not doing it.

Any more ideas for getting rid of it? Rabbit fish maybe?

Thanks for any help

X2 on a rabbit fish. I used to have a scribbled rabbit that ate any kind of algae in the tank.

I would say keep an eye on any foxface. I put one in my 120 back in the day and he wiped out several colonies of zoos, blastos, an acan, and a duncan until he finally jumped out of the tank and to me delight. he was selective however I had a rock with green and red zoos mixed together and he wiped out just the reds and left the greens alone.

I pull them out by hand during water changes. With no flow, if the bubble pops, I follow immediately up with siphoning water hopefully getting most of the spores that are released. I have had good luck with a foxface but I have also seen them nip stuff you want as well. I had a scribbled foxface and got rid of him after the bubble went away. Now I pluck the several bubbles during changes.
